Michael collected Rs. 1.90 crore on its 4th Saturday, registering a 50 per cent spike from the previous day. The movie is heading to wind up this weekend around Rs. 4-5 crore, which will take its total cume closer to the Rs. 70 crore mark at the Indian box office. 

The Jaafar Jackson starrer musical biopic is looking to wind up its entire theatrical run around Rs. 80 crore gross at the Indian box office. It has already become the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2026, after Project Hail Mary. 

It is the third HIT for Hollywood this year after Project Hail Mary and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in India. Interestingly, all three have arrived within a short span of roughly a month. Even The Devil Wears Prada 2 is performing well. While it may not emerge as a HIT, it is shaping up to be a success. What makes these results particularly impressive is that none of these films fits the conventional template of a Hollywood HIT in India, a market that is usually heavily IP-driven. There are some big films from big IPs slated for release later this year. 2026 could turn out to be a very strong year for Hollywood in India, especially if there are more unexpected successes and HITs along the way.

The Box Office Collections for Michael in India are as follows:

Day Gross
Week One Rs. 31.25 cr.
Week Two  Rs. 20.50 cr.
Week Three Rs. 13.00 cr. 
   
4th Friday Rs. 0.90 cr. 
4th Saturday Rs. 1.90 cr. (est.)
   
Total Rs. 67.55 cr.
